However, today we bring you something almost tantamount to breaking news. Not quite, of course, we’re not that good. But we’re betting a hell of a whole lot of you haven’t heard of the Nokia Booklet 3G. See, told you, you’ve no idea what we’re talking about, have you? Is it a book-shaped phone? A slider with a big QWERTY keyboard? A… oh, right, yeah, there’s a picture up in the top left. So, there we have it: Nokia have made a laptop.

Excited? Well, you damn well should be. Because if there’s one thing that Nokia have proven over the years, it’s that they make solid, reliable, and downright functional pieces of kit. All that sometimes means that in the superficial world of mobile phones they can be out-shouted by other manufacturers releasing slightly more glitzy/flashy handsets, but we think that in the computing world, reliable and solid is exactly what you want. People are a lot less willing to accept flaws in a £500 laptop than a £200 phone.

So, does the Nokia 3G Booklet live up to our excitement? Yes, hell yes, and then yes some more. It ticks so many boxes it’s untrue, in fact. Design: stunning. Basic features: all as good as the current crop of netbooks. Extras that make it special: 3G, A-GPS, WiFi sound good to you?
